Overview
Built some 35 years after nearby Harbour Town Golf Links, May River is an interesting contrast in Jack Nicklaus's portfolio. It's an equally low-profile layout with a number of bump-and-run approach shots but with several Pine Valley-like waste areas and with larger, bolder greens. The classic routing has the front nine turning clockwise through forest while the back nine circles counter-clockwise. Both touch repeatedly on the wetlands of namesake May River.

Review
“A very strong design with very few weak holes that caters to golfers who enjoy a pure golf experience with few houses lining the course and a layout that caters to the walking golfer."

“Very tough course that is a departure from traditional Nicklaus design principles (at least in regard to the tee shot and strategy into greens)."

“The setting is ideal but I found the course to be just a little too flat. Nice day of golf but nothing that you haven't seen before."

“A Jack Nicklaus, local edition course. Every hole different. People were very good and very professional. Great practice facilities. Every hole is unique. Lots of risk reward target golf. Really enjoyed playing."
